Wind damage is surprisingly common; it is the number-one reason that homeowners make claims to insurance companies. Perhaps it’s less of a surprise here in northern Minnesota, where storms are limited to days of the week, but many people who hear the words “storm damage” think of heavy rains and hail.

Wind may be the primary driver of water damage, tearing structures apart and leaving them open to water damage, but it often causes trouble on its own. No matter. Whatever kinds of wind damage batter your home, the professionals at SERVPRO of Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing are always on call to respond to emergencies.

Basics of Wind Damage

The National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), part of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) defines damaging winds as those that exceed 50 to 60 mph and are straight-line – that is, not tornado – winds. They are more common than tornadoes, even in tornado-prone states, and often exceed 100 mph.

Damaging winds and tornadoes:

• Have been recorded with wind speeds over 300 mph
• Include wind-driven hail, rain, and debris
• Cost billions of dollars in damage

Factors that contribute to the amount of wind damage:

• Wind Speed
• Wind Direction
• Wind Duration
• Flying Debris
• Strength of the structure

 At SERVPRO of Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing, we:

• Remove debris, including fallen trees
• Clean and disinfect your home and belongings – even from hazardous materials that storms may deposit in your house
• Restore property from water damage (hail and rain, leaks, etc.)
• Provide restoration services, such as roofing and general contracting (see more)
• Have certification from the non-profit Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), our governing body

Faster to Any Size Disaster

While insurance classifies wind-driven water damage as something different from straightforward water damage, it all does the same thing: destroy your home and other property – at least, it will unless we can get there to remove it. Other hazards, including mold and mildew (any microbial growth) or contaminants from the outside may also keep damaging your property.

That’s why we promise to arrive quickly, no matter how much damage there is. No job is too large. Just as important, no job is too small.
